Figure 1 introduces the current state-of-the-art battery manufacturing process, which includes three major parts: electrode preparation, cell assembly, and battery electrochemistry activation. First, the active material (AM), conductive additive, and binder are mixed to form a uniform slurry with the solvent.
The recycling convenience should be considered when the manufacturer designs the battery shell, pack, and module. Quality control is an important step run through almost all the LIB manufacturing steps. The characterization methods can help to detect the defects early and prevent waste in the following steps (Deng et al., 2020).
